Proceeding papers or journal articles? A comparative analysis on computer science versus economics, business and management

The comparative study is two-folds: proceeding papers vs. “regular” journal articles, and computer science/information technology vs. economics, business & management. Though proceeding papers occupied a large share of publications in Computer science/information technology, they didn't succeed in gaining the equivalent citation impact as the “regular” journal articles in general. Comparatively, the proportion of proceedings in Economics, business & management is much smaller, however, with an almost equal citation impact of “regular” journal publications. Journals with more interests in publishing proceeding papers were presented in both fields, which might give some guides for researchers' submission and retrieval solutions.
